Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin is the most extensive connective tissue of the body. Much like all other human organs, skin undergoes gradual changes as part of natural aging. However, unlike other organs, skin is consistently exposed to harmful environmental factors, such as solar ultraviolet radiation, leading to photoaging. Skin aging adversely affects a person’s susceptibility to other conditions, leading to increased fragility, compromised vascular support, delayed wound healing, and the onset of skin cancer. Notably, facial skin is often exposed and acts as a significant indicator of age, health, and disease, carrying considerable social and psychological implications. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to clarify our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for skin aging and to explore the preventive strategies. We eagerly anticipate receiving your submissions and look forward to compiling an informative and insightful collection of articles.
Dr. Taihao Quan
